Juntos Avanzamos: Together We Advance
Member credit unions who receive the Juntos Avanzamos designation are recognized for serving and educating the Latino community on its journey to financial independence. This program was developed by Cornerstone Credit Union League in Texas and is expanding nationally to meet this demand.
Seattle Credit Union is the first credit union in Seattle and the second credit union in the state of Washington to be accepted into this program.
As a member of the “Together We Advance” family of credit unions, Seattle Credit Union has demonstrated that we:
- Have a formal strategic plan for improving service to Latinos
- Offer bilingual services and information
- Collaborate with organizations that support the Latino community
- Provide affordable products and services that meet the needs of Latinos
- Offer financial education tailored to the Latino community
Proud Moments
Early in 2017, Seattle Credit Union received the designation Juntos Avanzamos (Together We Advance) for our commitment to serve and educate the Hispanic community about financial independence. To date, we’re one of just 70 credit unions across the country to receive this accreditation from the National Credit Union Federation.
In July of 2017, we were granted a low-income designation by the National Credit Union Administration. The designation comes with regulatory benefits to help us better serve those most in need of banking services— those with fewer check cashing, savings or loan resources, or are in need of greater financial education.
